I would look into hard money lenders and get pre-approved so if you have to switch, the paper work is already started.

If you are not planning to use an agent at all to do your paperwork, I would suggest using a real estate attorney for the purchase agreement (contract).  

They do this all day long and know how to deal with these types of people, who sound like they will do whatever to cause you problems,  You dont want your case thrown out because you didn't do some paperwork right.  

Essentially, I will be paying almost $379700.99 for a home that costs 225k.

We started our paperwork with the VA through Navy Federal to get the loan transferred.My husband has been supplementing his teaching (which is PT) with remodeling since February of 2015.

The process and paperwork can be a longer process.

This way he has to do very little except cut the check, sign the paperwork for the mortgage (issued from him to the LLC) and cash a check once a month.

If I wanted my wholesale fee to be $200, I would need to advertise for $1100+Closing cost because the initial earnest money that I put up for $100 is essentially gone and out of the picture, right?

i talked to my financial adviser who oversees the account at fidelity and they said i could withdraw but would take a 20% federal tax hit a 10% penalty and then another % based on what ky state taxes are for withdrawing out of your 401k. so essentially my $30k would be nearly halfed if i went that route. i have also looked at getting a H.E.L.O.C (home equity line of credit) for the $40k+ i have in my house but we are currently adding a wet bar, cigar room and renovating a bathroom so i would need at least another 3 months before i could H.E.L.O.C.what do you suggest for me and my co-worker We are both in northern Kentucky. 

While the people spearheading the turnkey provider companies seem to have good reviews (through BP at least), there are a couple of things that concern me.Basically, I have heard from at least one provider that they are essentially "guaranteeing" some equity within the properties upon purchase.
